crafternoons

This winter, my friends and I have been getting together every Thursday afternoon for what we like to call "crafternoon".  It is a time for the kids to play and for us to craft away on whatever we've got going.  We work, chat, munch on treats and laugh a lot.  I have loved it.  I have not snapped any pics of us yet, but Amy has.  I'm really lucky to have the greatest of friends.

good times at church.

I've had such a blast helping out with our ward activities.  At Christmas, we did the Polar Express.  Around Valentine's Day, we had ward adult-only dinner groups, meeting at the church for dessert. 

I tried to create ambiance with flameless candles, red and lots of chocolate.  We served cheesecakes with chocolate ganache, and red velvet cake.  We played Frank Sinatra.  It was lovely.

Last week we hosted Movie Night.  Each of the youth groups made a home video, recreating a scripture story.  We invited the whole ward to come watch and eat popcorn and licorice.  It was awesome.  Everyone loved it, and I was majorly impressed by our youth and their creativity.
